Where He "Every time heretofore that weroad8f and thatif aobunty cannot bare sent a candidate to the Leg islature from our county," said a publio spirited citizen to the writ er yesterday) "we have been buying a pig in a poke. We didn't know where he stood about anything . In fact, a oandidate seemed to think it his chief purpose to keep the people from knowing where he stood instead of to let them know." . "But we are going to change all that this year," he went on. "I don't know who's going, to be oar Senator, but one thing sard, ie has got to tell the people where he stands. He has got to give ue bis platform." It is "to be hoped that voterB in a thousand counties in the Sooth are feeling the same way. Oar farmers need to give less atten tion to electing candidates aud more attention to selecting them. Have a county platform if possi ble, but if you can't get that, at any rate make every candidate for the Legislature give his views on all snob issues as we suggested last week, and then vote for him aooording to whether his platform is good or poor. The only real test is as to how a oandidate stands on these mea sures for the upbuilding of the county and the State. We hva eaid that we want to see more farm ers in the Legislature, but we had rather have a constructive, progressive lawyer any time than a standpat, unprogrsssive farmer. We have known some farmer leg islators who had become ultra conservative and "set in their ways" and did more harm to the farmers' interests than anybody else in the Legislature.

Washington, April 26 Span ish Ambassador Riano announced late tonight that he had received private advices from Mexico City stating that Gensral Huerta had accepted the offer of Argentina, Brasil and Chile to use their good offices to bring about an amicable settlement of, the difficulty be tween the United states and Mexioo. This information though unof ficial was aooepted as anthentio by the Ambassador, who expectp to be prepared -to plaoe General Huerta's formal acceptance be fore the representatives of the three Sonth .

Ambassador Riano reoeived the good offices from the three peace envoys last night. It was cabled immediately to Mexioo City. When the formal acceptance from Mexio3 City is in hand the South Amerlcon diplomats will be ready to proceed with their plan, no intimation of the nature of which as yet has been given. It generally has been understood here, however, that the peace en voys expect to deal direotly with ithe situation created by the Tarn- pioo incident and other offenses against the honor and dignity of the United States.
